The Killing Kind

From the author of The Good Life: He was always destructive—and now his sudden death will bring even more danger and chaos to those who knew him. When the body of social worker Dermot Carine is discovered in a hotel room, the ripples of suspicion start to spread in many directions. There’s Trina, a psychology professor who has a habit of crashing weddings, picking up men, and drinking to a state of oblivion. There’s a prominent surgeon and his wife, who both have a motive, as well as an obsession with Trina. Then there’s Laura, who’d been Dermot’s client as a teenager and who had a relationship with Dermot that pushed the boundaries of professionalism. Dermot’s sister has come to town searching for answers. But before the killer is identified, long-held secrets will threaten to break apart families, ruin marriages, and leave more than one person dead.
